Unveiled in 2015, this small memorial to James Dean marks the spot where the house he was born once stood. The House of Seven Gables was demolished in the 1970s due to structural dilapidation; today, the 6ft-tall black granite monument depicts his home, Dean as a baby and in his famous Rebel without a Cause pose.
